Lemon Shining Silver Haze

Well, there's a lot to say about this plant in particular. I mean, it was a Lemon Shining Silver Haze indeed, but it tasted different to the first one I grew. The funny thing is, I have no idea which one I prefer. But let's focus on this one. It has a fresh smell and taste. It's not too complex, but it has many layers still, fruity, citric and sweet, which is something not everybody would be expecting. It hits hard and fast, a very uplifting high, ideal to increase a few more hours to my skateboarding sessions. My friends also loved it. The yield was not great, I usually get 60 g in my setup, this time, it was a 45 g, it was my first mainlining, I usually do a different LST, looking more like a star, I believe it may have affected the outcome. The stretch took only 2 weeks, as you may see in the pictures, but it grew big, as you can see in the data available. Another great plant from what I believe to be the best genetics lab in recreational cannabis. There's still one seed left, to be seeded at June 25'. It took me a while to review the harvest, but here I am.

Lemon Shining Silver Haze Strain Review by timbarin Preface It takes me roughly two months to write a smoke review. Instead of counting the time, I count the experiences shared with close friends and others. Those moments are what shape the smoke review. What can never truly be captured, though, are the feelings. :-) I do not sell, distribute, or do anything with my product besides using it for personal consumption and journaling. All reviews are unbiased and based on input from several people. Strain Overview Name: Lemon Shining Silver Haze Type: Sativa-dominant Hybrid Genetics: Lemon Skunk × Shining Silver Haze THC Content: ~25% CBD Content: ~0.88% Aroma/Flavor: Strong lemon scent; citrusy, sour, skunky yet sweet – often compared to lemon-flavored candy Terpene Profile: High in limonene Effects: Potent, uplifting cerebral high Awards: 2008 High Times Cannabis Cup Winner Yields: High production First Impressions Lemon Shining Silver Haze is a powerful Sativa-dominant strain born from two citrus-rich legends: Lemon Skunk and Shining Silver Haze. It clocks in at around 25% THC and delivers a strong, energetic cerebral high—perfect for boosting mood, sparking creativity, and staying engaged. The flavor is vibrant and bold: intense lemon, layered with sour citrus, subtle sweetness, and just the right touch of dank skunk. It’s a full-flavored experience whether you’re smoking or vaping. Its high limonene content enhances not just the flavor, but the clear-headed, uplifting high as well. No wonder it took home the gold at the 2008 High Times Cannabis Cup. This one’s for flavor chasers and potency lovers alike. Grow Cycle Growing this strain was fairly straightforward: Start: Seedling in a 1L pot Transplant: After 4 weeks, moved to a 15L pot with netting to manage vertical growth Structure: Classic Sativa—tall and a bit lanky Lighting: 300W LED in a large tent Flowering Time: ~8 weeks We encountered our only issue around week 5 of flowering. Rust spots appeared on the leaves. The runoff was 6.3 pH with PPM at 1300—right where it should be—so we suspected a nutrient lockout. A couple of flushes helped stabilize things, and luckily, the issue didn’t worsen. The final three weeks were smooth. She fattened up nicely and was ready to chop after the 8-week mark. Bud structure: Long (6–8 cm), cone-shaped, and straight-up look like baby Christmas trees. Dense and frosty. Smoke Review This strain hits hard with that classic Sativa buzz—psychedelic, uplifting, and productive. The first time I tried it, I felt like electricity was flowing through my veins. It kept me alert for two solid hours. The only problem? I had nothing to do that day. It was a lazy weekend. ;-) This is the kind of strain made for movement and connection—thinking, hiking, journaling, deep convos, or even just getting some cleaning done while zoning into a playlist. The weather's crap at the moment, but I can picture myself walking through a forest, admiring every little living thing, taking a slow puff, and reflecting on life goals and next steps. Final Thoughts Lemon Shining Silver Haze is for people who like their weed with flavor, punch, and purpose. Perfect for: Outdoor adventures Creative work Energetic social hangs Reflective solo time Not ideal for: Trying to fall asleep Low-tolerance smokers looking for a mellow time If you're into citrus-heavy strains that deliver both taste and intensity, this one is a must-try.

Despite she lost 1/2 of the first two katylode leafes, she did quite nice.

This strain is perfect for beginners like me. I bought 3, all of them germinated and grew despite the difficult and totally different conditions. (indoor/outdoor, warm/cold, weak light during veg and so on) The citrus fragrance the first two had, you could only smell lightly on the last one. She had a more lavender and gassy type of smell. But what was/is outstanding is the sheer amount of trichomes that one developed. Sugar coated seems accurate. Under the microscope there were two different levels of perfectly build capitate-stalked trichomes on two different hights. Unfortunately my camera is not good enough to deliver real proof but I hope in comparison to the others, you cann see the big difference. Also, her buds ruined my grinder after a few grams. And the high was way much stronger but still very clear and activating.

Citrus terpenes are clearly dominant in this pheno. The high is very clear and activating. I let her live a little longer so more trichomes would get amber and the high has more effects on the body. But i couldn´t feel it until I cropped another one from my garden with only about 10 % amber trichomes.

Sweet and citrus, very pleasant mood of good feeling while staying functional at least while microdosing on a S&B Mighty herb vaporizer.

Smooth, sweet, citrus, It feels so nice, harvested it on the milky side with not much amber and the effect fade away any worries on my mind, definitely a mood changer for the good while staying functional, at least when microdosing with an herb vaporizer, mine S&B Mighty.

Delicious strain that tastes like blueberries and citrus. I had two quiet different phenotypes but they both survived my gardening skills and yielded well. One was harvested day 108, another 122. Buds are hard and covered in trichomes, taste and smell great! I wish they had something similar in Autoflowers.

Für mein Empfinden ist sie nicht ganz ohne und mit etwas Vorsicht genießen. Wenn man nicht darauf vorbereitet ist kann es passieren, dass man einige Zeit in einer anderen Umlaufbahn verbringt. Jedoch nichts vor dem man sich fürchten müsste. Geschmacklich ist sie schon herausragen. Zitrone durch und durch, jedoch nicht die extreme Säure sondern ausschließlich eine leicht marmeladige Frische. Getestet wurde im Verdampfer. Die Buds sitzen bei 62% mit einem Befeuchterpack.

Good strain for mainlin

They grew really strong , made dense buds , not a sign of mold which i really like . Classic Dutch bud , with Good potency Earthly flavors and musky smell when smoked

They all germinated. The smell is great and the growth had no problems. The plants took on a lot of resin! As it was my first cultivation, I made a lot of mistakes and the yield was not very good.

The taste is just what I expected and hoped for, it’s delicious powerful and the perfect smoke, everyone who likes haze will 100% love this. Just a question of time when I will grow it the next time

So this year was the random grow: this plant is a second generation rqs seed. It’s one of the seeds my last rqs lemon plant produced. I’m a bit weary of RQS, I’m sure if you were to get seeds at random it would have more positive outcomes. Last year my harvest had so many seeds! In feminized plants??! And one of the lemon ones I had bought didn’t hatch properly. So idk. If I were to buy more seeds I would probably change source. But I still have like 50 Critical Haze seeds and 10 lemon seeds from last year so… It grew perfectly, although towards the last month, due to humidity and moisture, bud rot and mold started spreading to some buds. I am quite happy with the grow as I had it min my garden in a rather shady spot (which became even shadier in these last months)

Some massiv buds. Can't wait to test it when it's dried

Very nice energetic Sativa, stimulates creativity as well as making you laugh for anything. Too bad I smoked it all before summer came, because the Lemon flavor is very fresh and I could imagine smoking it while drinking an orange/lemon drink or a radler beer under the sun

Sweet Lemon 🍋 Drops, my kind of taste !

Very heady high. Kicks like a mule. 10/10 recommend...and I ordered more seeds FOR SURE.

Hello all sorry about the ending life happen and it was a bit to recover from how ever she did make it too the end and got 8oz dried from her.
